This Is Where We Lived! Life In China#2

Hello Dear Friends, And welcome back to Life In China Part Two!

Today I am going to show you where we lived for almost a year....

We were fortunate to live in a small complex that had places for us kids to play and run around in, 

and just down the road was the bus station and a big pond where we could go for walks!
So the Lord really took care of us♥

Here are some photos of our complex and the outside of our apartment building~

Most of the buildings in China are really high some of them even 30 to 40 stories...we were fortunate to live in a building that only had 6 stories!

These were taken on the roof of our apartment building^

Outside our apartment building^

Us kids made a club house and there were many 'secret pathways' to explore!

Around our complex^

And now for the inside of our cute apartment:

Our lounge:

Our lounge was spacious and comfortable, there was aircon, a big flatscreen TV, and a small balcony where we hung our washing and my Mom planted flowers!

The tot room:


At our front door was a biggish open space, which we made into a tot room for Caleb~

The kitchen:

Our kitchen was also spacious with a small balcony, where we stored all of our washing equipment.
There was no built-in oven so we had to use the tiny oven my Dad had bought to cook and bake in, which was a bit of a challenge.  That poor thing worked really hard to feed our big family!

The dining room:

Our dining room was also used as our school room, we later put up lots of maps and posters which gave a cozy feel to the whole apartment♥

Our outside area:
Outside the front door of every apartment was a long, rectangular space to store your outdoor equipment, and get to the lift and stairs.
In this space we stored our shoes, toys, bikes and our scooter~

So! That was our apartment and I sincerely hope you enjoyed the 'tour'♥
We were very happy in our cozy apartment during our stay in China!
I hope you will have a blessed weekend dear friends♥

Blessings~Gabrielle♥
